24 new titles recorded in digital widescreen High Definition format by the
world's premier fly tying program producers Jim & Kelly Watt, these
programs are educational/instructional DVD's designed for all levels of fly
tyers.
Two deer hair experts provide detailed instruction on stacking a bass bug,
The Rattlesnake, as well as spinning 'mixed' hair for The Rubber Tailled
Popper.
Chris Helm ties The Rattlesnake Slider using stacking techniques. In
addition to the stacking hair portion of the fly installing rubber legs, splayed
hackle tails, plus installing a hair collar, and elevated eyes. In addition the
hair quantity and control are discussed, along with questions and answers
from both tiers.
Wayne Samson demonstrates a full medium round rubber tail popper. The
hair bug features spun hair that has been 'mixed' to create a marble effect
on the bug's body. The extra large 'Godzilla' stacker is featured along with
explanation of spinning repeated clumps of hair with trapping any hair that
has already been placed on the hook.
The entire popper is shaped using a double edged razor blade. Proportions
are emphasized along with burning holes for the solid plastic eyes and
creating a hard face on the bug to facilitate noise when stripped through the
water. Chris and Wayne discuss the fly and pertinent aspects of tying with
hair.

Wayne G. Samson has been fly-fishing and tying flies for nearly fifteen
years. Originally a warm water fisherman he started by experimenting with
bass bugs using deer hair. Soon after, he met Chris Helm. Chris has
rounded out Wayne's tying, especialy deer hair, and considers Wayne to be
perhaps his best student. Wayne's specialty remains deer hair bugs and
hair work in general but he also has great breadth and depth in other areas
such as epoxy flies, saltwater flies, classic Atlantic salmon flies and most all
trout flies. He is affilated with Glenn River Fly Co. Lid (www.glennriver.com)
